What happens with Petco Park? Obviously they wont replace the blue seats those are probably fine the way they are, but there's a lot of blue everywhere else in the stadium. Do you keep the outfield wall and batters eye blue or change to brown? Would be kind of weird to switch to brown and yellow but your stadium still be full of blue. I always liked the blue and sand color scheme because it matched the park so well.

The seats at PNC Park are blue I believe....its not perfect but it could be worse.

This may sound counter-intuitive from someone who cares enough about sports branding to part of a forum like this, but I honestly find the lack of team-specific branding at Miller Park refreshing. I've always liked that about Lambeau Field too.

On a somewhat similar note, I feel the same way about wearing jerseys to sporting events. I wish it was more normal to just dress like a regular guy to go to a game. Its like people dont think you’re a fan unless you wear one but I think they’re kinda trashy. Maybe trashy is the wrong word but I hate wearing them.

I can see that. I only wear baseball jerseys because they look more like casual wear than jerseys from other sports.

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I get envious when I see pictures of dressed up crowds at midcentury games. But that horse left the barn a long time ago.

It's real hard to have differently colored seats that aren't gonna just be overly bright and gaudy. I'm cool with the purposely dull greens and blues that most ballparks have. You also don't want them to stand out when the seats aren't filled in either.

I think the best way to do colored seats is how Daytona International Speedway does it:

From a distance, it looks like the entire grandstands are full, even if no one’s there, because of the seats all being different colors. I could see a team like the Padres doing this, but in brown-yellow-white-grey-navy (to cover most colors Padres fans would wear). If the Rays didn’t have all-navy seats, but instead specks of white, grey, and light blue, their games probably won’t look as empty.
